Tim Minchin - Drowned

The audio of Tim performing this beautiful love song.

Lyrics:
Your love is, like fingernails on chalkboard
Your love is, like throwin' myself overboard
A breakdown on a motor-way
A heart attack on christmas day
Like scaling a cliff, and falling off
Like trying not to cough

And I didn't see this one coming
Now I'm in too deep
I didn't see this one coming
Now I'm in too deep

I think I'll just keep swimming
Down, down, down
There's no point in trying
To turn back now

I'm drowned
I'm drowned

Your love is, like sand inside a bathing suit
Your love is, a symphony with the sound on mute
A letter to the wrong address
Like red wine on a wedding dress
Like broken bones in my playing hand
Like trying to swallow sand

And I didn't see this one coming
Now I'm in too deep
I didn't see this one coming
Now I'm in too deep

I think I'll just keep swimming
Down, down, down
There's no point in trying
To reach dry ground

I'm drowned
I'm drowned

Your love is, like one last breath of salty air
Your love is, like a map that leads to nowhere
A wine glass on a concrete floor
The overuse of metaphor
The street ahead
And a sideways glance
Like a misstep in a dance

And I didn't see this one coming
Now I'm in too deep
I didn't see this one coming
Now I'm in too deep

I think I'll just keep swimming, down
There's no point in turning round

I'm drowned
I'm drowned

This is honestly one of the most romantic songs i know.....Tim Minchin is a pure genius for this.

[samdavampslyr]

I've said it before, I'll say it again: This man is genius. And this is absolutely beautiful :')

[talkingoranges1]

I'm so high and this is amazing.

[jgalt7]

funny thing is, peeps who are geniuses have an incredible sense of humor....the only problem is, not a lot of people understand their humor :D

[xShakespearex]

Absolutely love this... have to listen to it at least once a day <3

[EmmaPocketsize]

There's something in my eye...

[saantiproduct]

My husband is stationed in south Korea and this song makes me miss him sooooooooooo much more. I can't stop listening to it.

[QuietenMyDespair]

Can't stress how much I love this song. Fucking gorgeous

[simplerachel11]

is this...'a symphony with the sound on mute...'

[Danterickenbacker]

Only Tim Minchin would be able to make these lyrics into a romantic song. Simply beautiful.

Hi, Thanks for posting the lyrics. Been looking for them. However, I think, if you don't mind me saying, that when you write

"The street ahead

and a sideways glance"

that it should be

"The straight ahead

in a sideways glance"

What do you think?

He's been named a genius for his work in 'Matilda' :) Took the media long enough to realise it!
